what a HUGE laugh your comment was... a wireless connection to a "base 
station" CANNOT SEE your data, it only SHARES the internet connection 
going out.

all home networks if they are running OSX SHOULD be fully open, it's the 
way to share the internet with others WITHOUT security issues.

anyone that "protects" a wireless network should be diagnosed "paranoid" 
and should seek professional help. so unless you have turned on sharing 
and told everyone connecting what your name / password is, there is NO 
way to get into your data.

sure, sure, someone in a black helicopter or black van could intercept 
YOUR single, but they can do that just as easy on a CELL PHONE or WIRED 
PHONE, so "wireless" isn't the issue, it's the same.

Keep your wireless networks OPEN, it's the best way to eliminate the 
CELL and PHONE COMPANIES.
